I have a shared file on a shared drive. In the past some users of this
shared file have copied the file to their laptops and taken it home.
Several days later they would copy the file they took home and paste it
over the file on the shared drive. Obviously any changes made to the
shared drive file in those few days were lost completely. The only
solution I could think of was to make it read-only, but that won't work
because changes do need to be made. I guess one way is set the
attributes of the file so that it thinks that someone has the file open
at all times and will not allow someone to delete or copy over the
file. I don't know how to do this though. I am pretty good with VB.
The file contains alot of VB code including a login that gives
different users different permissions. So I am open to any suggestions
including suggestions that involve complicated vb. This file does need
to remain a shared file because several people need to edit at the same
time. Thank you in advance for any help.
